Yamaha SR500 description
|
1979 Yamaha SR500 This SR was purchased from the original owner and came with several other bikes and parts. This particular bike he had started to make the bike into a cafe motorcycle. Since this one came with a clean original Pennsylvania title I decided to finish what he started. I like to keep this simple as possible and as clean as possible when doing any custom work. I used most of the parts he had sold in the package. The rear frame had already been cut in order to fit the seat/tail section that came with the bike. The fairing also came with the bike and is vintage from the 70's. I gave the parts to the painter and my only direction was a red metallic. This is what he came up with and I was told it started as Toyota red metallic and he added more flake so it is kind of a custom color. I did not do any work the the engine as it started and sounds strong. I was told this one does have a little more compression than stock. The stock carb was junk so I have installed a Mikuni VM34. I removed the stock throttle/controls and installed a Magura throttle. It has cafe style bars. It has the stock speedo and tach which both work. The left hand controls are stock so it still has the turn signal switch, horn button, hi/lo and decompression lever. I did not attach the decomp cable, personal preference. It can be installed no problem. I also have not installed turn signals but the wiring is still in place for front and rear. I decided to with a custom rear set for the pegs from Motolanna, not bad. For the exhaust I used the stock head pipe with a reverse cone muffler. This has minimal baffles and has a nice sound. It still runs with a battery. I have installed an LED rear bullet style running/brake light. The rear shocks are vintage Showa and have dampening adjustments. There are few other things that are new or custom as well. This bike turn out very well in my opinion. I have had this bike on a reliability run and the engine, clutch and gearbox all sound and work as they should.

Ask MO Anything: Should I Buy a New 2022 Yamaha MT-10?
Thu, 06 Oct 2022Is this a trick question? Dear MOby, Thank God I’m in the enviable position of having a wife that gave me the OK to get whatever bike I want, after selling off all my old ones about seven years ago. So, here’s my parameters: After test riding a ton of stuff, I’ve decided I want a (bigger) naked bike, and in first place is the 2022 Yamaha MT-10.
2022 Yamaha MT-10 Review - First Ride
Mon, 15 Aug 2022It's the King of the Masters of Torque Credit: Photos by Joe Augustin Heaping praise upon Yamaha’s naked bikes has become all too easy lately. Yes, the MT-07 did get dethroned in last year’s Middleweight Naked comparison, but not by much – and it took brand-new motorcycles from Aprilia and Triumph to do it. When it came time for the 900cc(ish) Nakeds last August, the newly revamped MT-09 surprised a couple people by taking the cake against KTM Duke 890 and five other very nice and mostly more expensive motorcycles.
